EZMove

EZMove operates as an online marketplace for relocation services, aiming to streamline the often-challenging process of moving for individuals and corporations. Founded in 2013 by Anand Agarwal and Vishwajeet Singh, the Pune-based company was born from Agarwal's own negative relocation experience, which involved everything from hidden costs to delivery delays. This personal ordeal highlighted significant gaps in the largely unorganized Indian packers and movers industry, prompting the duo to create a platform that prioritizes transparency and reliability.

The company functions as an aggregator, connecting customers with a network of pre-screened and selectively chosen moving companies. The process is designed to be straightforward: a user fills out an online form detailing the items to be moved, from which EZMove generates and provides multiple quotes from different vendors. To aid decision-making, customers can access ratings and reviews from previous users for each listed mover. Once a vendor is selected, an EZMove coordinator is assigned to manage the process, acting as a single point of contact and a bridge between the customer and the moving company to ensure a smoother operation. The business model is focused on both individual consumers (B2C) and corporate clients (B2B), offering solutions for employee relocations.

EZMove's core service addresses the common pain points of relocation by eliminating the need for multiple calls and home visits through an online survey system. It champions a "price you see is the price you pay" policy to prevent hidden charges, a frequent issue in the industry. The platform's value lies in the curation of its vendors, who are vetted for their track record of quality service. Over its history, the company has secured approximately $573,000 in funding over four rounds from a mix of angel investors and one institutional backer, Advik Holdings. The first funding round occurred in March 2014, with the most recent being an angel round in December 2017.
